I've been supplementing with Turmeric for a long time now, just as a preventative for inflammation and other conditions.

Actually, healers in India probably aren’t surprised. In that country, turmeric—known there as haldi—is a household remedy for cuts and coughs, is used in traditional medicine to reduce inflammation and ease digestive problems, and is treasured as a skin beautifier.
For their part, Western researchers have found that turmeric can help fight a number of diseases, most notably cancer.
Inflammation has been linked to a number of disorders, which helps explain why curcumin has shown a healing touch for so many different conditions. Take arthritis for example; arthritic rats given a turmeric extract showed less joint inflammation and cartilage destruction.
One of curcumin’s most promising usages lies in its seeming ability to protect the brain. In one study, healthy older Asians who ate the most curry ran the smallest risk of mental decline.
This helps explain why some scientists think that curcumin may help protect against Alzheimer’s disease.
Curcumin’s traditional role in digestive relief has also been demonstrated in studies. In addition to killing H. pylori, the germ that fosters stomach ulcer formation, curcumin has helped keep ulcerative colitis in remission and fought giardia, a main culprit in intestinal infections worldwide.
Topical curcumin has even repelled mosquitoes and black flies.
Curcumin: It can really spice up your supplement regimen.
